Download or read book Supercritical Fluids written by E. Kiran and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supercritical fluids are neither gas nor liquid, but can be compressed gradually from low to high density and they are therefore interesting and important as tunable solvents and reaction media in the chemical process industry. By adjusting the density the properties of these fluids can be customised and manipulated for a given process - physical or chemical transformation. Separation and processing using supercritical solvents such as CO2 are currently on-line commercially in the food, essential oils and polymer industries. Many agencies and industries are considering the use of supercritical water for waste remediation. Supercritical fluid chromatography represents another, major analytical application. Significant advances have recently been made in materials processing, ranging from particle formation to the creation of porous materials. The chapters in this book provide tutorial accounts of topical areas centred around: (1) phase equilibria, thermodynamics and equations of state; (2) critical behaviour, crossover effects; (3) transport and interfacial properties; (4) molecular modelling, computer simulation; (5) reactions, spectroscopy; (6) phase separation kinetics; (7) extractions; (8) applications to polymers, pharmaceuticals, natural materials and chromatography; (9) process scale-up.

Book Study of Particle Formation Using Supercritical CO2 as an Antisolvent

Download or read book Study of Particle Formation Using Supercritical CO2 as an Antisolvent written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Particle design using supercritical CO2 has been of great interest in the pharmaceutical, microelectronic, catalytic, and related industries over the past 10 years. There have been numerous papers and patents published on the processes studied in this work. The solubility of most drug compounds in carbon dioxide is very low, making it a very attractive antisolvent for particle formation at suitable ranges of temperatures and pressures. This thesis explores the use of different CO2 antisolvent precipitation system designs for the formulation of small crystalline drug particles of a given size, morphology, and uniformity, using the precipitation of acetaminophen from ethanol as an example. In order to understand the precipitation process, the equilibrium concentration of acetaminophen in CO2 and CO2 plus ethanol were measured at a range of temperatures and pressures in a high-pressure extraction system. This information is important in understanding the supersaturation of the drug at various precipitation conditions. Several antisolvent processes were tested in order to determine their effectiveness in controlling the precipitation of acetaminophen from ethanol. The first system involved the use of Solvent Enhanced Dispersion by Supercritical Fluids (SEDS) patented by Hanna and York (WO9501221, 1994). This process uses a coaxial nozzle design where the solvent with the solute of interest is injected in the inner tube and the supercritical CO2 is injected in the outer tube. The two streams mix at nearly constant pressure and temperature in a small volume region of the nozzle before expanding through the nozzle tip into a chamber maintained at a fixed temperature and pressure. The fast mixing process rapidly expands the solvent with CO2 in order to induce phase split of the solid drug particles. The chamber pressure is maintained constant and nearly equal to the pressure in the nozzle. This process was studied because it was claimed that SEDS gave the best control of sy.

Book Supercritical Fluid Technology for Energy and Environmental Applications

Download or read book Supercritical Fluid Technology for Energy and Environmental Applications written by Vladimir Anikeev and published by Newnes. This book was released on 2013-12-21 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supercritical Fluid Technology for Energy and Environmental Applications covers the fundamental principles involved in the preparation and characterization of supercritical fluids (SCFs) used in the energy production and other environmental applications. Energy production from diversified resources — including renewable materials — using clean processes can be accomplished using technologies like SCFs. This book is focused on critical issues scientists and engineers face in applying SCFs to energy production and environmental protection, the innovative solutions they have found, and the challenges they need to overcome. The book also covers the basics of sub- and supercritical fluids, like the thermodynamics of phase and chemical equilibria, mathematical modeling, and process calculations. A supercritical fluid is any substance at a temperature and pressure above its critical point where distinct liquid and gas phases do not exist. At this state the compound demonstrates unique properties, which can be "fine-tuned," making them suitable as organic solvents in a range of industrial and laboratory processes. This volume enables readers to select the most appropriate medium for a specific situation. It helps instructors prepare course material for graduate and postgraduate courses in the area of chemistry, chemical engineering, and environmental engineering. And it helps professional engineers learn supercritical fluid-based technologies and use them in solving the increasingly challenging environmental issues. Relates theory, chemical characteristics, and properties of the particular supercritical fluid to its various applications Covers the fundamentals of supercritical fluids, like thermodynamics of phase and chemical equilibria, mathematical modeling, and process calculations Includes the most recent applications of supercritical fluids, including energy generation, materials synthesis, and environmental protection

Book Supercritical Fluid Precipitation Technology

Download or read book Supercritical Fluid Precipitation Technology written by Facundo Mattea and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carotenoid formulation is of great interest for the pharmaceutical and food industry. A proper formulation and particle size is essential to obtain high colorant activity. Thus, a suitable technology to produce particles from these natural substances must be used to avoid the degradation and loss of commercial value of the colorants. Supercritical fluid precipitation processes are an excellent alternative to formulate carotenoids, especially supercritical antisolvent processes, which are the main topic of this thesis. Also, a novel method, the Supercritical Fluid Extraction of Emulsions (SFEE) is presented and the fundamentals of this process are evaluated with the aid of a mathematical model.

Book Mean Aspects Controlling Supercritical CO2 Precipitation Processes

Download or read book Mean Aspects Controlling Supercritical CO2 Precipitation Processes written by Antonio Montes and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of supercritical CO2 is an excellent alternative in extraction, particle precipitation, impregnation and reaction processes due to its special properties. Solubility of the compound in supercritical CO2 drives the precipitation process in different ways. In supercritical antisolvent process, mass and heat transfers, phase equilibria, nucleation, and growth of the compound to be precipitated are the main phenomena that should be taken into account. Mass transfer conditions the morphology and particle size of the final product. This transfer could be tuned altering operating conditions. Heat transfer in non-isothermal process influences on mixing step the size of generated microparticles. In rapid expansion of supercritical solution, phenomena as the phase change from supercritical to a CO2 gas flow, rapid mass transfer and crystallization of the compound, and expansion jet define the morphology and size of the final product. These phenomena a priori could be modulated tuning a large number of operating parameters through the experiments, but the correlations and modeling of these processes are necessary to clarify the relative importance of each one. Moreover, particle agglomeration in the expansion jet and CO2 condensation are determinant phenomena which should be avoided in order to conserve fine particles in the final product.
